My RS6 goes in on Monday....

Post by Dave » Wed Apr 09, 2003 4:23 pm

My beloved RS6 goes in for the ABT treatment on Monday.. it's a four day job.. should come out with 505bhp and 630Nm... [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Now I've made the commitment I'm really excited about it.. it's like having a new car on order.. I can see why you guys get addicted [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'll have a play for a month or two make sure it beds down Ok and then I'll have the exhasut changed which should be good for another 20bhp [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

No worries mate.. apparantly the torque when it is done is just fantastic.. pulls like a tank [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Wow, nice. You going with ABT because you can retain warranty cover with it? Dealer fit or 3rd party?

Oh, and [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

Absolutly mate.. what with a fairly gentle torque figure (relativly speaking) the car should be quick without the worries of failures.

My local audi dealer is doing the work for me and has explained that the warrenty remains intact [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

I'll give you all a full report when it's done [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Sounds like you're gonna have Jennifer back from the low-fat and silicon diet at the end of the week, uh?

Barry will doubtless confirm this, but his RS6 had 515bhp with the ABT chip and Miltek pipes. It was fairly rapid on the road [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the biggest improvement was driveability (as the tiptronic programme was altered too) rather that significantly more thrust.

Enjoy...
